Mareum's DAYS Numbered,

FRANKFORT, KY, March 4.-Governor
Knott to-day fixed April 80 as the day for
James H. Marcum, of Lawrence County, to
hang. In May, 1885, Marcum killed rela-
tive of his named Fisher Marcum. He came
very near proving complete alibi, but
there were peculiar tracks leading away
from the place of murder which no other
boot but Marcum's would fit, and the bullet
extracted from the corpse fitted no other
mold in the country but Marcum's. SO he
was convicted and sentenced to hang, and
the Court of Appeals has affirmed the judg-
ment.
